LITTLE GORDON


A child impersonator of the chef Gordon Ramsay is proving a hit on the internet as he shouts and swears in a spoof of the Kitchen Nightmares TV programme.In one episode, the blonde 9-year-old, dubbed Little Gordon, screams at his mum for putting "anaemic" white bread in his lunch box when he asked for granary. Despite the boys angelic look, the clip shows the boy throwing a ham and cheese sandwich and launching into a Ramsay-style tirade. When the mother walks out crying he unsympathetically remarks: "It's embarrassing. Here comes the water works." Little Gordon, who is played by an actor, is dressed in a chef's trademark white uniform with spiky hair, blues eyes and cheeky grin. The three-part series has attracted over 600,000 views online via video website YouTube plus many more on LittleGordon.com and are part of a recruitment advertising campaign by Caterer.com. In the second video he is seen berating the service at an empty restaurant. Slamming his fist on the table, he asks the manager: "Why exactly have I been waiting an hour for food in an empty restaurant? Come on John, grow some balls. "I ordered the chicken an hour ago and I can only assume you're waiting for the eggs to hatch." In the final episode he launches a long rant at a school dinner lady. "What's the meat content of these sausages? Is there any? Because it tastes like dog ---" he adds "I've been coming here over two years and ever since Margaret became dinner lady she's been out of her depth. "No wonder the kids are now bringing packed lunches." The real Gordon Ramsay, who has seen the video, is very impressed at the likeness of the young actor and his endeavour to mimic him. He even admitted that his son actually believed it was him. "I was with my son Jack and wife Tana when I received a link to the video. I said, 'Look, come and see daddy when he was eight.' "Jack watched it and got upset because he thought I was talking to his grandma like that." The chef added that: "For the last 24 hours I've been trying to tell him that it's not me, but he's absolutely convinced that it is." Writing on the website, Little Gordon says he is "on a personal mission to rid the world of rubbish food and pathetic service." Despite the obvious resemblance to Gordon Ramsay, the company denied the character was based on the famous chef. HMMM WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO KID....
